<quoted text>Not really a good comparison, as Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy were never thought to be the creators of the universe.

Oh? But what about the midwinter Yule and Odin's Wild Hunt across the sky? The Tooth Fairy has her beginnings with the Norse, as well.And the Easter Bunny... The spring renewal.Ashtoreth? Estre? Astarte? Ishtar?And let's not forget Samhain and All Hallow's Eve...As much as you try to distance yourselves from magical witch doctoring, mystical shamans and superstitious folklore, you are no closer to being level headed sophisticates than a Borneo tribesman.

<quoted text>...not possible. I've been to college, a southern baptist college at that...I also was a catholic pupil form elementray through jr. high...in college, I took the 101 courses of biology, anatomy and physiology...Old Testament 205 and New Testament 201 were prerequisite courses ..........and boy, o'fuckin boy.....LOL.......those science nerds explained life at it's simplist form, how it all happen through mitoses (cell reproduction)...what makes us, how we are pretty much just another bacteria that dwells on a host, the earth....just as you are a host for the bacteria on your skin and in your gut....we are not made up of anything special, we're animals, just like our cuz the monkey that most like to deny....when you look in the mirror, don't you see something that looks like 1/2 monkey and 1/2 pig?....I sure as the hell do, don't deny facts...ignorant is one thing, but to refuse to listen to FACTS, now that's just completely incompetent.

...so you see, Jesus, Ala, Budda and all the nonsense will never be able to reach my mind...I have antivirus program installed into my brain...an education.

Holy MOSES lol u can b a BACTERIA if u want. I'm a child of the KING Not sure which book you read but not the one I read. CRAZINESS U SPEAK. rofl. God bless you and may He open your eyes and ears to the TRUTH before your last breath

<quoted text>Still stories that adults tell children are real but are not real, just like god

Still not a good comparison. I don't know one single adult that has ever said they felt the presence, or influence of the tooth fairy. Nor have I met an old person that is full of wisdom and life experience devote their life to Santa Claus. People's experiences with God are real, and they are personal. That's the cool thing about it. You have your own relationship with God. My experiences won't mean squat to you, but once you feel the Holy Spirit, you then know for yourself, and you want to share it with others, to which it will not mean squat to.

I see. So we can and should just cancel the entire arm of science called psychiatry and every industry related to it because all 'rightness' of being is inspired by cosmic supernatural forces. Delusions are sacred, hallucinations are divine visions, psychopaths are demon possessed and conscienceless sociopaths just fail to hear the Voice of God.Hallelujah and Amen Brothers, Welcome to the Borneo of the West! The state of mind where all the sanity you ever need is supplied by preachers, prayer and prostration.

Wow, talk about putting words in someone's mouth. I'm not against science, or psychiatry, or physiology. Never did I even allude to that.

Many people have pointed out that I am a religious nut, some even call my religion a cult.True, but my religion does not pry in to others personal life, does not violate others rights,(unless you are violating my rights) we do not harm anything for any reason other than survival and we are kind and good.The christian cult is the opposite of us, they are evil, judging others, condemning others, prying where they have no business, killing and raping evil

<quoted text>Huh? Seems that some spokesman for God always PRAISES God's wrath for BRINGING disaster to punish the sinners. Andrew hit Miami because of homos? Charlie hit central Florida because of "gay days?" Katrina hit New Orleans because of Mardi Gras? There are always religies thankful to God for someone else's suffering.<quoted text>That's why they call it "blind faith."

if a parent wants their kids exposed to the bible, then it should be on the parents. not tax paying citizens. Many christian private schools offer bible studies, and i do not believe our government should teach religion. who strongly believe in the constitution and where it states, "separation of CHURCH and STATE" and the bill of rights where one has the right of freedom of religion? what if it was a Jewish bible class up for discussion? we wouldn't be having a discussion now would we?

Probably, being as the Bible is partly reiterated from the Jewish Tanakuh.

Isn't it amazing how unbalanced some people get when they "think" others might actually read something for themselves! Can you imagine how those same types would act, watching people walk into a public library!!!!
